The End of the World & After - But Not US-centric!
Much of the post/apoc genre is taken up by US-centric fiction, giving a very specific mindset & often a similar type of apocalypse. There's a strong focus on guns & military. Settings outside the US can provide us with unusual, diverse & interesting stories of survival
Sister list to: Zombie Apocs - But Not US-centric
Fictional settings allowed. Some books may cross borders, inc sections in the US. Allowance made for US indigenous authors

It's the End of the World!
Apocolyptic fiction for all the readers opting to trade our dystopia for a different one. Typically jam-packed full of zombies, and fallout, and viruses, oh my!
Take Me Back to the Wasteland
Books with similar themes to the Fallout series: critiquing rampant American consumerism and greed; deconstructing 1950s-era conservatism; post-apocalyptic road trip; man vs. God; long-term effects of authoritarianism; morally gray choices or โmorally grayโ choices; being locked inside underground (or in space) indefinitely; retro-futuristic technology; nuclear weapons and fallout; cosmic horror; or, ultimately, being the baddest motherfucker with a baseball bat.
